Bringing Voices to Life

Whether we’re leading a three day camping trip or gathering caregivers to lead wellness workshops, YES intentionally creates a safe space where people feel invited to share their stories. It’s in these stories where people’s vulnerabilities, strengths and dreams lie. Our Stories page includes a blog written by YES youth and adults about their outdoor and community experiences. Please feel free to contribute your own comments and reflections to share in our participants' unfolding journeys.

Our Media Gallery includes recent videos and photo libraries of YES outings such as Family Camp and community-wide wellness events. We would like to thank everyone who has contributed photos over the years with special thanks given to Caroline Johnson, George Eade, Brandyn Johnson, and Courteney Coolidge whose photography made this website possible.

“I have loved my experiences at YES for the past 4 years. The time I’ve spent will change my life forever.”
